Water Wars by Emily Axford Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lips
Lips, dry and blistered
And tongue, bitter for your touch
Skin, weathered like a desert
Dying, dying, dying for your love

[Pre-Chorus]
Since you evaporated
All the world is desiccated
Now I pray for rain from above

[Chorus]
So, baby, won't you help me please?
I'm dying here
I'm oh so thirsty
Can't you see you're all I need?
It isn't greed it's just biolo-
Gee, if I could sip one final kiss from your sweet lips
Baby, I would finally be free
[Verse 2]
Plead, pleading for water
At the feet of warlords and blackmarketiers
Chapped, chapped hands clasped
Begging for some pity from a sneer

[Pre-Chorus]
Ever since you left
The whole damn world's become a mess
And now I pray
I pray for death

[Chorus]
So, baby, won't you set me free?
I'm dying here
I'm oh so thirsty
Can't you see you're all I need?
It isn't greed, it's just biolo-
Gee, if I could sip one final kiss from your sweet lips
Then I wouldn't have to be so thirsty
